    Real talk

    This isn't a fragrance that needs you to explain it. The carnation gives it an edge most modern masculines won't touch, a spiky floral quality that adds character and distinction without apology.Dunhill Edition
    If you've worn YSL Jazz and wondered where it came from, this is it. A 1985 aromatic that planted the seed for half the men's fragrances that followed. The vanilla is the tell. And it works.Fair Play (1985)
